Did you do the 7" club leading up to it? Doing that ruined the album for me because by the time it had come out I'd already been listening to a decent chunk of the songs for months. That kind of colors my memories of it towards the negative end; it felt like kind of a tossed off album to me.

Probably wouldn't have thought that if I wouldn't have gotten the 7"s though.
